MSMC2 doesn't generate final.txt file

Hello everyone.

I'm running MSMC2 on a Mac using the next command:

msmc_2 -t 1 -I 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 -i 10 -o Pcal_out Pcal_chr1.multihetsep.txt

The program runs fine and there's no error. I checked the log file and the last line says:

[200/200(max)] Maximization Step

So I understand the programs runned nicely. But it only outputs 2 files: the .log and the .loop.txt, not the *final.txt. I don't know what's happening and couldn't find a similar problem anywhere.

Anyone knows what could it be?

I would first check whether the program is still running. I don't know the particular program you described, but that is not how most programs finish their runs.

Thanks for the comment. The job did finish but it didn't generate the file that I needed because there was an error with the input data. Apparently I overwritted my files and there were no SNPs available for the program to read, so that's what was happening. The script I was using to create the multihetsep.txt files was doing a different thing from what I thought. THANKS A LOT!

Hello Camila Martinez, I have the same problem. I am wondering if you could fix it? and could you please give me some advice to fix it?
